What can be inferred from the passage about Mr Haider’s garden?

Read the passage: Old Mr Haider's garden was the envy of the street. Every morning he watered his roses, trimmed the hedges and swept the path. When he broke his leg one winter, neighbours expected the garden to fall into ruin. Yet each morning the path was swept and the roses watered. Mr Haider, watching from his window, said nothing. Only in spring, when he was able to walk again, did he notice the small muddy footprints by the gate and the boy from next door who suddenly knew the names of all his flowers.

1. A Option A: Mr Haider looked after the garden himself despite his injury
2. B Option B: Mr Haider paid a professional gardener during the winter
3. C Option C: The neighbour's boy had secretly been looking after the garden
4. D Option D: The roses died while Mr Haider was ill
